When Li Mu heard that Hollywood was competing for Hong Kong film rights, I was very pleased with it.

What he wants is not to make money by speculating on the rights of Hong Kong movies, but to help Hong Kong movies and even Chinese movies to go abroad.

The category of "Hong Kong film" is a special title for Chinese talents. Only Chinese talents will divide movies into Hong Kong movies, mainland movies and Taiwanese movies. Before the whole world interface, whether it is mainland movies or Hong Kong , Taiwanese movies have a common name-Chinese movies.

If a Hong Kong movie becomes popular in North America, it will have a certain impact on the entire Chinese movie industry. Now Hollywood starts to compete for Hong Kong movies. It wo n’t take long before it will start to compete for other Chinese movies in mainland China and Taiwan.

Before this, an excellent Chinese-language movie sold to North American distributors was nothing more than hundreds of thousands of USD. In addition to its own movie value, Hollywood looked down on all overseas movie. Therefore, the quotation is as low as possible. In their view, the North American market has such a large demand for overseas movies every year. There are so many movies in so many countries overseas every year. It can be said that the lower the quotation, the better.

But now, because of the success of "Zombie-Master", Hollywood has a clear look at Chinese movies. In the future, there will definitely be a wave of Chinese movies in the entire North American market.

In Li Mu's view, the more excellent Chinese movies can be released in North America and even other countries, the more a success of Chinese movies and China cultural output.

However, Hong Kong film companies do n’t look at things that way. They have been suffering from the depression of Hong Kong films for so long. Suddenly, due to the hard work of Li Mu's, they have been able to see the moon and the moon. The backlog in their hands is not profitable. The copyright of the movie was re-emerged with commercial value overnight, so the only thing they are thinking about now is how to use the movie copyright in their hands to make more money.

After the price of "Infernal Affairs" plunged, Huanya immediately contacted several first-line movie companies in Hong Kong. The bosses of several companies sat together to communicate with each other about the progress of copyright transactions with Hollywood. After the market, Huanya realized that their offer for "Infernal Affairs" was indeed a bit outrageously high.

As far as all the companies that have cooperated with Hollywood, there is no one that has successfully obtained the "guaranteed share" agreement from the Hollywood publisher. The offers given by these publishers are all copyrights without exception. Buyout, only the buyout price has increased several times than before.

However, several other movie companies are also very satisfied with this. After all, these copyrights were unprecedented before, and even 10,000 USD could not be sold. Now, suddenly they can sell for hundreds of thousands of USD. Say, it is tantamount to flying fortune.

But the boss of Huanya ca n’t have the mentality of being as wealthy as they are, because he feels that the movie "Mr. Zombie(s)" has cost him too much. Earn tens of millions of USD, but in the end, even the one hundred thousand USD that he got was not available.

It is precisely because of such a huge psychological gap that he hopes that "Infernal Affairs" can sell a better price, but the publishers on didn't expect and Hollywood "fever" in an instant, and several companies withdrew from the competition. , The rest also lowered the quotation, which made the boss of Huanya even more depressed.

In order to sell "Infernal Affairs" at a better price, the boss of Huanya took the initiative to contact Muye Pictures, although he hated the teeth that Muye Pictures hated, but at this time, he wanted to improve the "Infernal Affairs" in the North American market. For the value, he must borrow from Muye Pictures.

Huanya said to Muye Pictures that they hope to cooperate with Muye Pictures to develop the North American copyright of "Infernal Affairs". The specific operation is in the decision of Huanya. Muye Pictures does not need to invest and only needs to promise to give "Infernal Affairs" enough recommendation in the North American market. Resources, you can get 30% of all the income earned by Huanya by "Infernal Affairs" in North America.

Muye Pictures ’s person in charge reported this to Li Ziwei routinely. Li Ziwei took her to the field trip to the Yanjing, Jinshi and Langfang junctions on Li Mu, and relayed this news to Li Mu.

After listening to Li Mu, he said to Li Ziwei: "Huihuaya has a message. If they want to cooperate with us in the overseas market of" Infernal Affairs ", they will show some sincerity and adjust the cooperation conditions. The decision is given to us, copyright. First authorize us exclusively, and also give us the sub-authorization, and then let us take it to the North American market for operation. We rely on "Infernal Affairs" to earn all the income earned overseas, and give them 30%. "

Finally, Li Mu added another sentence: "Yes, you tell them that we will not commit to any recommended resources."

Li Ziwei nodded and asked tentatively: "Is this condition too harsh for Huanya?"

Li Mu said: "It seems a bit harsh, but the actual result is much better than that they cooperate with any Hollywood distributor. The North American distribution rights of this movie are said to be able to sell five or six million USD If you cooperate with us and have our promotion and operation resources, the 30% share of Huanna will definitely be better than selling it with a hammer. "

Finally, Li Mu said to Li Ziwei: "You contact the people of Warner in the United States and say that I am interested in buying back the copyright of the English reprint of" Infernal Affairs "from them. The price is double their original transaction price. . "

Li Mu thinks that if Huanya can calmly look at the problem, "Infernal Affairs" is the best thing to cooperate with himself. As for why he wants to press down their share to 30%, it is because he must put more The profit margin is given to Cinema in North America, so that it can occupy a sufficient advantage in the film.

The box office of "Mr. Zombie(s)" looks very high, but most of the income is attributed to Cinema and Lucas. The only thing Muye Pictures can get is the small head, and in order to promote this movie, now the Mucha ticketing system is in North America has a 5% box office subsidy for this movie, which has reduced the income ratio by 5%. In addition, the daily lottery also needs to pay a lot of costs. "Mr. Zombie(s)" has "Plant Wars Zombie(s)Online" Great favorable conditions, and you have to pay such a price if you want to succeed, let alone "Infernal Affairs".

If Huanya does n’t even understand this level, what he is thinking about is to make more money, then just let him go, and then buy the copyright of the English remake from Warner, and then contact DreamWorks. Cooperate to make the American version "Infernal Affairs" by yourself.

As early as February of this year, Warner of the United States bought the reprint copyright of "Infernal Affairs", with a transaction price of 1.75 million USD, which created a record of the transaction value of Hong Kong film reprint copyright at that time.

If you follow the normal rhythm, the Hollywood version of the movie will be officially launched next year, but Warner will be unlucky this year. The "Propagation of Extreme Bushido Spirit" caused by "The Last Samurai" has caused Warner a huge blow. So far, Warner ’s reputation has not been restored.

In addition, the future of director Edward Zwick and starring Tom Cruise in the movie circle has also suffered a huge blow because of this movie, which also caused other Hollywood stars to throw a taboo against Warner. At present, Warner is still the target of the global audience. The actors who cooperated with Warner, even if they opened a full Positive Energy movie, will also be infamous online. After all, Warner took the money of the Japanese chaebol and shot "The Last Samurai" to promote fascism to the world. The extreme Bushido spirit of color has brought a lot of hatred to Warner around the world, and it is impossible to slow down without a tail for a period of time.

Furthermore, the event of "The Last Samurai" also brought great shock to Warner ’s top management. Li Mu speculates that Warner ’s current rhythm in film and television will be greatly affected, so can he be on "Infernal Affairs" next year? The Hollywood version is still a big problem.

At this time, Warner should not be able to seize a movie that has not been officially established, and his MU8 ticketing system currently controls the realization of the box office in North America. Warner has to give himself a little face.

The Li Mu's plan is that after buying the copyright from Warner, it will be jointly invested with Muye Pictures and DreamWorks, and then asked Martin Scorsese to direct the movie, and then Leonardo, Matt · Damon and Tom Hanks both came to play in this play, when Leonardo also played the role of Liang Chaowei, Matt Damon also played the role of Liu Dehua, and the age of first-year university student Tom · Hanks plays the role of Huang Survival.

After watching the US version of "Infernal Affairs" by previous life, Li Mu has always felt that in the US version of "Infernal Affairs", the original player of the role of Huang Survival, Martin Xin, feels a bit weak in the movie. If you take this The role is replaced by the old play bones of Tom Hanks, and the effect will inevitably be higher.

Moreover, Li Mu wants to vote for the American version of "Infernal Affairs" is a bit of a chicken thief psychology. First of all, this is a remake of the China movie. The quality of the China movie itself is a good recognition. In addition, the previous life US version of "Infernal Affairs" takes He won four awards: Oscar for Best Film, Best Director Award, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Editing, as well as nomination for Best Male Support.

In fact, Leonardo had two films shortlisted for Oscar ’s best Male lead corner, one was the American version of “Infernal Affairs” and the other was “Blood Diamond”, because the same actor can only be nominated for one film, so The final nomination is "Blood Diamond", that is to say, if the two films hit Oscar separately, each film can be shortlisted for the best Male lead corner.

Because Oscar uses a lobbying system, when competing for awards, in addition to the quality of the actors and the movie itself, it also has to rely on the resources behind to fight. Harvey is a strong player at the Oscars, but unfortunately it has become famous. Messy, and Li Mu has money in hand and has enough influence in the world, and there are partners such as Spielberg and DreamWorks, and artifacts such as Muye ticketing system rooted in Cinema terminals, combined with "Infernal Affairs" The screenplay, combined with the influence of Martin Scorsese, combined with the influence of Leonardo and Tom Hanks, won the four major awards that the American version of "Infernal Affairs" had successfully won, which is definitely not a problem. of.

And, if there is no "Blood Diamond" to grab resources, Leonardo will surely be able to obtain an Oscar nomination for the best Male lead corner through the American version of "Infernal Affairs". Then, he will devote more resources to mediation and lobbying. It's not impossible for Leonardo to fight for an Oscar actor!

If the US version of "Infernal Affairs" invested by Li Mu can win the five Oscar awards for best film, best director, best Male lead angle, best adapted script and best editing, it is definitely the biggest Oscar of the year. The winner, and, by then, the investor and producer of this movie is Muye Pictures from China!

China movies, China directors, China actors, and China capital all have their own "Oscar dream". If they operate successfully, then the US version of "Infernal Affairs" operated by China capital may be China in advance. Capital and China's film companies realize their "Oscar Dream"!
